Aram-Damascus

Aram-Damascus was an Aramean state around Damascus in Syria which existed from the late 12th century BC to 732 BC. The Arameans fought against King David in southern Syria in the 10th century BC, and the Arameans also fought against the Neo-Assyrian Empire. Under Tiglath-Pileser III, the Assyrians sacked Damascus and annexed Aram, executing Rezin and deporting the population.
